Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety thereof broadly characterized by its very firm flesh and uniform texture and by a very bright undercolor of its skin which is covered with a red blush over 50% to nearly 100% of the surface of the fruit on mature trees, and by its extremely short pubescence.
  • I originated this variety by planting seeds from fruit resulting from open pollinated OHenry (P.P. 2,964) peach blossoms at Red Bluff, Tehama County, California.
  • the instant variety (numbered E3-l2 for my identification) was moved to Wales, Tulare, County, Calif. as a seedling.
  • the instant variety was asexually reproduced by grafting its scions into trees in test plots in various locations in Tulare County, Calif. and the resulting trees and fruit were identical. It was determined that the instant variety was worth commercial use.
  • the accompanying drawing is an oil painting of a characteristic fruit of the subject variety showing the shape and skin color, and by means of a fruit divided on its suture plane, showing the flesh and stone coloration and characteristics.
  • Trunk medium size, medium shaggy, gray.
  • Lenticels medium in size and quantity.
  • FLOWERS Buds medium size, round, free, pubescent.
  • Size variable, generally medium; 2% to 2% inches in axial diameter, 2% to 2 /8 inches transverse in the suture plane, 2% to 2% inches at right angle to suture plane.
  • Shape generally globose.
  • Suture a distinct shallow line extending from base to beyond and discontinuous at apex, with slight depression beyond the pistil point.
  • Ventral surface rounded, slight lips usually unequal.
  • Cavity oval, elongated in suture plane with suture showing strongly on one side, slightly on the other, generally /8 inches deep and 1 4 inches wide, yellow with red markings.
  • Pistil Point apical, short to very short.
  • Flesh color yellow, darkest near skin 9I2 to lightest toward stone 9F-1 with red close to stone advocacy or Checkerberry red 5-L-6.
  • Amygdalin moderate.
  • Texture uniform throughout, firm to moderately soft but meaty when fully ripe.
  • Fibers few, fine, tender.
  • Flavor delicate, distinct aroma.
  • Thickness medium.
  • Tenacity to flesh tenacious unless very ripe.
  • Fibers few, mostly short.
  • Form generally obovate to oval with small apical tip; base generally straight, sometimes oblique; hilum, oval; apex, accumlnate to cuspidate; sides, generally unequal.
  • Ventral edge thicker than dorsal edge with many fine furrows.
  • Dorsal edge narrow with usually one deep groove from base to near apex.
  • a new and distinct variety of peach substantially as described and illustrated which is characterized by its firm flesh and uniform texture, a very bright yellow undercolor of its skin with a bright red blush over 50% to 100% of its surface on mature trees, and short pubescence on the skin, which most closely resembles OHenry peach plant (RP. 2,964), its parent, but is an improvement thereon in ripening about three weeks earlier.
